jyväskylä, finland is the town of virtanen. everyone knows of sonic wizard, keijo, by now, but he is not the only virtanen around. longtime keijo collaborator (he's a member of the free players and often plays with kheta hotem) sami virtanen builds his own bridge to the cosmic frozen forests under the moniker, mosaic antenna. this self-titled album is a minor masterpiece filled with endless organic tape loops, guitar festering, casios, and a whole bevy of unrecognizable instrumentation. this melodic affair is the sound of trees in finland's arctic circle, freezing half to death in winter, parched for sunlight and longing for a forest fire. mosaic antenna has unleashed the ghosts of lapland into the world and out into the ether. there is so much beauty and magic here, i can barely contain myself. 100 copies
